‘Sporting Life’

Event sponsor PNC Bank was represented by regional
president Michael Harreld, who said he and his wife collect
English antiques.

The Louisville native is no stranger to the horsey set. A
racing enthusiast, Harreld was involved in the Kentucky Derby
“for 37 years straight.”

He chatted with French Ambassador Francois Delattre -- he
and his wife are the show’s honorary diplomatic chairmen -- who
revealed he was “exhausted” after moving his family into a new
home. His official residence is undergoing extensive
renovations.

He was joined by compatriot Menehould de Bazelaire, the
director of cultural heritage for Hermes (RMS), Paris.
